Permitting Consulting

Helping you navigate the complex world of approvals and the permitting environment.

Permitting can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, careful oversight by federal, state, and local government helps protect our communities and environment. It’s something we’ve seen in our home state of Vermont where strict regulations, including Act 250, have resulted in our world-renowned environment and beauty which are major reasons why people live and visit here.
